I sing in the shower all the time, does that count?
Sure I've heard live music, what does that have to do with the value or lack of in MQA?

And all that has what to do with the discussion of MQA?
I'm don't get where you guys are going with this?
Nope. A real 24/192 Qobuz Studio stream is far better than MQA lossy crap for my mobile setup! Verified by my Chord Mojo showing blue power light = 192 KHz

My question to the MQA crowd is.
What problem does it solve that FLAC at 24/192/5Mbps doesn't solve?
I have a copy of The Dark Knight Rises in above resoluton and how does MQA make it any better?

It solves the MQA light not coming on with FLAC files.
The light coming on eases your mind that you are hearing the highest possible studio quality
It makes it much better...for Meridian.
It makes a lot of money for most everyone in the industry. From the selling of new MQA compatible components, to the selling of MQA encoded music either via streaming or encoded discs, plus the advertisement text of all the above in the HiEnd print and web media. Everyone makes money except the consumer, he has to spend it.

What problem does 24/192 or 24/96 or 24/88.2 solve that something in the range of 16 / 44.1 to 24 / 48 doesn’t solve?
MQA, hi-res, ultra HD, it’s all pyrite.
I agree, but hi-res and ultra HD are voluntary and potentially harmful only to the ones who choose them. MQA costs eventually roll down to everyone.

FLAC is free so it might not solve anything except placebo.
Why should I have to pay to scratch the itch.

Adding a small rechargeable battery could reassure you that even silence is studio quality - imagine that, your entire life could be studio quality!
The consumer supposed to spend money,music is not free "but this new generation think it is",I remember when we would tape music off of the radio I still have the cassettes ,then we would get paid on Friday wasn't no direct deposit then,then we would go to the record store Sam Goody's,Tower Records,Sound of Market or Webb's the latter two are Philly stores and buy the records,cassettes or Cd's you could spend $20-$30 easily,I'll spend $20 a month for million of Albums no matter what format they're in.It makes a lot of money for most everyone in the industry.

Sure, but what has that to do with the MQA hoax on the public? Tidal is the only streamer currently offering MQA, and if you know anything about the owner Jay Z, they kind of fit together.
I'd rather spend $15 per month on a REAL Studio Hi-Rez streaming service not some LoSsy Hi-reZ that only certain MQA hoax certified DACs can play it yet still lossy in the end of it.
There it is,if Deezer or Qobuz had came out with it first y'all wouldn't have said a word,but since Jay Z is a part owner of Tidal it must be bad,Imma say it, that's why I subscribe to Tidal because i support black owned businesses and all others that i like.Better yet you need to produce an audio codec that the codec of all codec (ACOAC).Oh and just to let you know MQA is just one of many many many (hundred of them) audio codecs and it's not taking over audio codecs.

That was quite a leap...
So, you're inferring that mentioning Jay Z has to do with his being Black, and that's why there is pushback on MQA?
Wow...that's something.
